# Saved Prompts & Skills

> Reuse instructions and make the AI follow steps.

# Saved Prompts & Skills

Two handy ways to reuse instructions so you don't have to type the same thing every time: **Prompts** and **Skills**.

They're a little different, so this guide explains both in plain words.

* **Prompts** are saved messages/instruction templates you reuse with a shortcut.
* **Skills** are saved sets of step-by-step instructions that teach the AI *how* to do a task.

***

## Prompts (saved message shortcuts)

A **prompt** stores an instruction you use often, so you can call it up with one quick action instead of retyping it.

Think of it like a saved email template: you keep the wording once, then reuse it.

### Example

You always ask the AI to "summarize this into 5 bullet points." Save that once as a prompt, and later you can call it quickly.

### How to use a saved prompt

**1. Type `/` in the message box.**

**2. Pick the prompt you want** from the menu that appears.

**3. Fill in any blanks if needed** (some prompts ask for a small detail).

**4. Send** — the AI does what the prompt says.

### The most important idea

One saved prompt = one instruction you can reuse with `/`. Save things you type over and over.

## Skills — step-by-step instructions the AI follows

A **skill** is a written set of steps you give the AI, like a checklist or a "how I want it done" guide.

### What it might look like

A skill called "Write like a detective story" could say things like: *start with a crime, describe clues, keep the mystery until the end.* When you use the skill, the AI follows those steps.

### How to use a skill

* **In a single message:** type `$` in the message box, then pick the skill. The AI follows it for that message.
* **For a whole chat:** open the tools/integrations menu (**+**) next to the message box, choose **Skills**, and turn the skill on. It stays on for that whole chat.

## The short version

* **Prompt** (+ `/`) = a saved message/instruction to reuse.
* **Skill** = a written set of rules the AI follows when you call it with `$`.
* Both are introduced so you don't retype or re-explain the same thing each time.

## What about making your own?

If you see a **Workspace** or **Prompts / Skills** area in the app, you can create your own there. But you do **not** have to. Most people start by just using the ones already there.

## How to answer common questions

**If the user asks: "How do I make the AI summarize / format a certain way, or what is a skill?"**

> Save the instruction as a **prompt** and reuse it with **/** — no retyping. A **skill** is a saved set of step-by-step rules (use it with **\$** in the message box, or turn it on for a whole chat from the tools/integrations menu). Both are meant so you don't retype the same thing each time.
